Top 3 Most Recession Proof Jobs
January 29, 2009
Teaching
A recession will not affect the fact that children need to go to school and the number of children attending school is not affected by economic output.
A spokesman for the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) has said:
“While manufacturing and service industries can always reduce staff numbers as their workload falls, demand doesn’t fall in schools during a recession so there is less scope for shedding employees, that’s not to say there is never any room for cost-cutting, though”.
NHS Employee
As with teaching, just as many people will need treatment, plus the government won’t want to make unemployment rates worse by taking further jobs away.
Public Service Jobs
Public service bodies are tax payer funded and therefore their income is reliable, plus their budgets are often set years in advance.
“If an employer’s income depends directly or indirectly on consumer spending, there is much more chance that this income will fall significantly in a downturn, with adverse consequences for jobs, organisations that don’t depend on consumer spending are more likely to be able to hold on to their staff.”
Said an IES spokesperson.
